I was just responding to the "only OS... was OS/9" (not suggesting it
was Xenix (or Unix)), since a lot of misinformation on the 'Net
erroneously states that Cromix was for the 68000 (for which it was
indeed later adapted).

The only OS that came close to Unix for 8 bit micros was OS/9 for the
6809 and
